The Modernist Eye: Progressives & Beyond

A landmark survey of the Bombay Progressives — Husain, Raza, Souza, Gaitonde — alongside the second generation that carried Indian modernism forward.

Spanning seventy years and four generations, The Modernist Eye traces how a handful of Bombay artists in the late 1940s set in motion a revolution that still defines Indian contemporary art. Drawn from twenty private collections, the exhibition pairs canonical works with rarely-seen studies, letters and photographs from the artists' studios.
